Cocktail of the Week: Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade

We Southerners love our sweet tea. Tea so laced with sugar that it's almost chewy. Nothing is better on a summer day. Strike that...they've made it better by making vodka taste like it.

Discovered this tasty treat at the bar at the Ritz Carlton here in Dallas. We asked the bartender to make us something refreshing on a hot summer evening. He splashed a bit of sweet tea vodka in an ice-filled glass and topped it off with lemonade. Slyly, he pointed out that it was called a John Daly. (Get it? The alcoholic version of an Arnold Palmer.)

So go buy some sweet tea vodka and mix one up. Just be careful...it's so refreshing that it might sneak up on you.
